It is indeed a different lightbox. This script http://earthangroup.blackroom.com.au/javascript/scripts.js is stripping the standard BC's prototype lightbox effect and implementing fancybox effect. That said, the description should render, unless it's being removed by your script, if you have added it to your gallery items in backend (admin).

Apart form changing that script there's not much you can do. I can't unfortuantley go through your code and make suggestions as I'm not familiar with that code. Maybe someone from the community can suggest something.

What we know is they have pretty much disabled the BC lightbox effect and replaced it with fancybox.

Problem is that in doing so they are not adding the title attribute back into the a tag for each image, which is were the captions are coming from.

To fix this issue you will have to edit the code on your scripts.js file. I've created a jsfiddle page that shows the current code and what you will need to add to get the title attr back on your a tag.

Hey Chad, I was 99% sure this would work for me too! At least I hoped it would, but, alas, it did not fix my photo gallery problem, and messed up my galleries. I can go back to the fancybox without captions, but I would really like to have them if possible.

i did put that in, and really thought it would do the trick, but see the attached photo to see how it behaved on the screen: black bkgd, photo resizes but we lose nav and have to use BACK button to see the site. I've also included the script that I inserted. Can you see anything I did wrong?
